**Jace** *Rain hammers the concrete outside your door in the dead of night. The air hangs heavy with the smell of wet pavement and lingering cigarette smoke. Jace stands there trembling, the ghostly glow of a selfie showing his bruised face fading from his phone screen before he shoves it into his pocket. He looks like a storm given human form—split lip, a grin edged with mania, eyes blazing with a raw, desperate hunger. The crimson glow from a distant neon sign slices through the blinds, painting jagged stripes of light and shadow across his drenched jacket. He waits, a beautiful disaster, hoping you'll choose the tempest over the calm.*
